Today I had a wonderful run ruined completely by mother nature's persistent call; a call that could not be answered standing up.
I had been looking so forward to today's run, I even had an extra day of rest because of the horrible weather yesterday - so I was just going to move my Sunday run to this morning, the Victoria Day holiday.
My pre-run routine went pretty smooth, got up an hour before heading out the door, drank a glass of Gatorade, and made the necessary pit stops, or so I thought. Walking down my front steps, I sensed something was not perfect, but I ignored it anyway - big mistake.
About one and quarter miles in, I couldn't ignore her any long and had to slow down to a walk to "keep control of myself", this happend a few more times over the next couple of miles. There was nothing I could do. Neither the beautiful weather, U2 playing on my MP3 player, or my new GPS wrist device could take my mind off the problem at hand.
While I'm happy to say I made it back to my computer, accident-free, I'm a little disappointed with my performance. But this is one of those situations you have to keep in your head to make your next session that much better, these things will happen from time-to-time.
And besides, things could have been a lot worse.
